EVENING Chronicle chief sports writer Lee Ryder held a live webchat earlier today to take questions on Newcastle United's opener with Arsenal.

The opening match of Newcastle's new Premier League campaign ended in stalemate at the Gallowgate, but despite the lack of goals the Arsenal game gave Toon fans plenty to talk about, with the Barton-Gervinho incident and a debut appearance for three of United's summer signings.

There were nearly 1,500 participants in today's webchat. We published as many questions as possible in the hour we had available, but due to the volume we received, not all were answered. Thanks to everyone who posted - and if we didn't get to your question this time, try again next week!

Now that the new season has kicked off, Lee will be online for an hour every Monday at 1:00pm to take your questions on the weekend's game and look ahead to United's next fixture. Next week's webchat will review the derby game.
